How to make an Eye-Catching Display Board

Remember that people will look at the center of your display board first. Your title (and the question you are answering if there is one) should be on this section.
Pictures and/or graphs add interest to the center section or your conclusion.
We are used to reading left to right and top to bottom, so organize your board in this way. Put the beginning information (hypothesis if this a science experiement) on the upper left panel, the middle (including pictures, graphs, etc.) in the center and your conclusions on the bottom right hand side.
Don't cover every inch of the board - our eyes need "white space" to help us focus.
Use color wisely. Don't use too many colors and make sure that it contrasts with your board.
Type everything and never use pencil!
Make sure you proofread everything. You don't want spelling errors!
Make sure you have included everything required
Don't tape or glue anything down until you've laid it out and seen that it fits and looks good. Use double-sided tape or glue on the back of what you are attaching to the board.

Do not use decorative fonts
Sans serif fonts (like Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, Geneva) are preferable
Make sure your title is large enough to be read across the room. Typically a standard sheet of paper which you fill in landscape mode will work though you can go bigger. In Word, you can change the font size to be bigger than the maximum number displayed.
Don't use a font size smaller than 16 (maybe 14 for captions on pictures) for anything on the board. Your board should be easy to read.
